A Speaker pro tenn was Immediately

burg Bessemer Company ct al.

AScSoOAhOA NOmPohI ot ois
WASHINGTON. March 21.-A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court to-day in
the case of Henry II. Porter, appellant,
against the Bessemer Steel Company, lin
tied; the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company,
the Smith Bridge Company, Creerar, Adams
d Co., and Volney O. Irwin. Appeal from
the Circuit Court of the United States for
the District Court of Indiana. This suit
grows out of the claims of the appellee
against the Chicago and Great Southern
Railroad, which was brought by Porter, the
appellent, at foreclosure sale on March II,
1856. August 81 of the same year, the Mas
Ter flied his report under reference in the
foreclosure decree, allowing the claims of
the appellees in whole or in part, and the
Court found them entitled 10 certain sums,
amounting in the aggregate to about $S9,-
600, and decreed that these claims of the
appeilees were prior to the lien of the mort
cages or deeds of trust mentioned in the
decree of sale. This Court reverses the de-
cree of the Circ1it Court made October 9,
1886, in so far "a it DEGREES that the claims
of the five appellees are prior, superior and
paramount to the lien of the mortgages of
deeds or trusts mentioned in the decree of
February 16, 1856, and of the bonds Sc
cured thereby, and in so far as it provides
for the payment to the appellee out of the
several sums Of money specified in the said
decree. The case is remanded for further
proceedings not inconsistent with this
opinion.
